Official Packers vs. Taints Game Day Thread

If Love has to play this year, he could go .500 and that might be enough to get us through till 12 makes it back.

I thought Love looked good when he had the starting O-line and Doubs and Winfree out there. Got kind of ragged after that, as it often does in preseason games.

I don't know what they're going to do on the DL: Chris Slayton and Heflin both deserve to make the team, but there aren't enough spots.

Tyler Davis, Good Lord.

Danny Etling=Taysom Hill?

[RashanGary]

It was messy when the backup OL and backups to the backups receivers went in, but I don’t put as much weight on that. I thought Love looked good.

Whoever #5 is, that dude looks a lot more electric returning punts than Amari Rodgers. Rodgers didn't look half bad as a receiver, though.

[RashanGary]

I don’t know if Amari Rodgers is gonna be any good. Athletically, he has enough. But tracking the ball, I think he’s got a glaring weakness and it will bite him in the ass when he’s dropping the ball.

Ishmael Hyman (#5) and Micah Abernathy are 2 USFL guys who really helped themselves tonight.

I don’t think Watkins or Amari Rodgers make the team. Too much talent to cut elsewhere.

[smuggler]

If Watkins were on the fringe, he'd be playing.

I could see Rodgers getting cut, but I don't think it happens.

Agree. I think we'd see Watkins in preseason if he was on the bubble or being shopped a la Funchess last year.
Not that I really think it will happen, but I think if Gute could get a reasonably good player or pick in return he'd deal Amari. In fairness to Amari, he looks a lot better this year but I suspect when the games matter he remains buried on the depth chart. Being a R3 pick makes you a near-lock for at least two seasons.

Starting to think they keep 7 WRs, but when naming your starters it's Lazard and take-your-pick from everyone else at this point.

Danny Davis either makes the PS or goes on IR.

i feel a lot better today about love then i did a couple days ago

he was throwing darts last night with nice tight spirals

i kinda hate to say it, but that one play deep in the endzone really reminded me of #4. the one where he just seemed to keep running around in circles, then got the pass off. too bad it was just a tad wide and OOB

like others have said, watkins is already a lock or else he'd be playing

i've seen nothing really that makes me think they should keep amari rodgers. why keep him, to be a returner? he's not very good at that

doubs is very hit or miss or raw as hell or something. guy can get open with the best of them, but then its 50/50 if he can complete the play. if he can get his head out of his ass he'll be a hell of a player. until then, he could frustrate the hell out of all of us

He looked really good last night. His passes were really on point. Maybe all that focus on fundamentals and being in good balance for every pass is starting to pay off. Plus the time in the offense.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Love looked good. McKenzie looked good. Kiondre Thomas is making a strong push for a roster spot. Winfree looks like he deserves a spot. Zach Tom looked good again. I’m starting to think the OL combinations should be:

Without #74 and #69:
Yosh, Runyan, Myers, Newman or Hanson, Tom

Without just #69:
Yosh, Runyan, Myers, Jenkins, Tom

With both #69 and #74:
Bakh, Runyan, Myers, Jenkins, Yosh

Who is McKenzie? Maybe McDuffie?
